A genie, who says he’s the one behind the hawk tuah girl, offers to give you a similar deal. You will be *globally* recognizable as a minor internet celebrity, “The Teapot guy (or gal)” for accepting a dare to do the “I’m a Little Teapot” dance with a tutu on over your normal clothes in the local bar district, leading to social media exposure, resulting in this minor fame. (If you aren’t familiar, just look up “i’m a little teapot dance” and if you see someone tipping themselves over to pour themselves out, you’ve got it.)
The good: You will earn $3500 USD equivalent every month for no more than 1-2 hours of “work” and simply existing. The work may be saying a few lines on a podcast, recording a quick cameo for someone’s birthday party, that sort of thing. The income will be sometimes in cash (like getting paid for the cameo) but may also include getting free things for being recognized (the manager says your meal is on us, he loves your Teapot Dance video), but it will always tally up to $3500 USD equivalent.
The bad: You will be magically forced to immediately do the Teapot Dance when *anyone* asks you to do it, regardless of what else is happening. Eating dinner with your wife and some kid says “Hey, you’re the Teapot Guy! Do the Dance!” You will immediately stand up, pull a tutu from your pocket, slip it on over your clothes, and do the song and dance. Upon the conclusion of the dance you will thank them for being a fan then you are released from the magic and can do whatever you like. You are in a burning building and someone who’s trapped has the last wish of seeing you dance one more time, you’re dancing for them.
Anticipated questions: Yes, you’re allowed to work other jobs simultaneously, no you are not protected from being fired if you spend too much time teapot dancing. If you are driving, you will immediately pull over so you can get out and start the dance. If you are physically restrained so that you can’t stand up or dance, you will do the dance to the best of your ability while restrained, then do a proper make up dance once no longer restrained. You can carefully set down anything you were holding as part of the standing up preparation, no need to drop your phone or your baby or whatever, but you have to set it down right where you are.
The timeline: The income and magic force lasts indefinitely unless you go a month without a stranger asking you to do the dance (you can’t just live in seclusion and have your friend ask you once a month) or you snap at anyone for asking you to do the dance. You may not dissuade people from asking you.

Can I do a crypto rug pool with a meme coin, make a few million and disappear?
